CP winners: Bob Umeck, C Martin, Ed Young, and Dave Scott. Tom Hamerla and Armand Silva gobbled up the field with a team score of -9. The teams of Umeck-Brad McDuffee and Jim Karalun-Mag Magdaleno tied for second at -5. The CP winners were: Umeck, Magdaleno, John Dockery, and Mike Davis. On Tuesday the 19th, Whitesel had this to say about the day's round, "the morning started off a little chilly and then the winds came. The front 9 had a brisk wind but the back 9 was brutal as was indicated by the scores. Dockery's CP on 17 was about the only bright spot 0'2" WOW." Playing with three flights the winners were Umeck, Whitesel, and McDuffee. Mind, Body, Spirit … Yoga, health and wellness, begins with a New Year, New You.
